The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) has won gold in the women's team figure skating competition, followed by the United States and Japan.

Fifteen-year-old Kamila Valieva, nicknamed Miss Perfect, had lit up the ice on her Olympic debut on Sunday with her short program. A fall in her long program, the final event of the competition, did not hurt the Russian team, which had secured the gold before her 178.92-point performance.

Japan's Kaori Sakamoto helped her team to a first ever medal in the team competition with a 148.66 while Karen Chen did enough to secure the US team its best result in the team event, which was first contested in Sochi in 2014.
